A little predictable, a lot adorable. I loved LOVED this one. I adore Poston’s once upon a con series and I think the characters in this particular book are fucking phenomenal. Space Dad is the best.

Not winning any literary awards, but a very fun read. Plenty of Easter eggs for nerds and book lovers and a loving reimagining of a classic tale. 

Cute. YA modern fairytale retelling. No big surprises, but some lovely gentle twists. A delightful take on the fairytale. 

I don't know if it's because I've always loved Beauty and The Beast, but I couldn't help but love this book. I hate how quick I was to just think it would be a quick read before I jumped into a new series. It was so much more than that.

Having recently started loving Star Wars a few years ago and getting into anime and personally playing otome games, I felt like it wrapped up all the different worlds I have come to love beautifully. Not to mention, the character growth of Vance wasn't in the way I had expected.

I definitely think this book will forever have a cubby in my heart.

3.5 (za ten miscommunication trope i momentami lekko żenujące teksty)
Ale ogólnie bardzo przyjemny romans! Bardzo miło się czytało, po prostu nie lubię tego zabiegu popsucia wszystkiego w 3/4 książki

This is not a perfect book, the pacing isn't great, but I still love the entire series. It's fun, sweet, and full of fandom.

Enjoyed this book
The bookish elements throughout were great and a touch of beauty and the beast.
